CHALLENGE
Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), the client company of PurpleJelly relied on a single HP pedestal server running Microsoft Hyper-V. This limited setup offered no failover protection or disaster recovery capabilities. The company wanted to modernize its client’s IT infrastructure by fully virtualizing its servers and creating a cloud- based Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environment.
However, moving from such an outdated setup to a modern, reliable, and redundant infrastructure posed a financial challenge. The main goal was to achieve high availability (HA) and disaster recovery without the high costs of purchasing a separate failover server. PurpleJelly needed a simple, affordable, and efficient solution to ensure business continuity for its client in case of hardware failure.
The new infrastructure worked perfectly and provided us with confidence that, in the event of a disaster, StarWind VSAN would allow uptime to continue.
